KIA designated hitter Na Ji-Wan hit a 2-RBI double in the top of the 1st driving in two new teammates, Lee Dae-Hyung and Brett Pill. Leadoff man and center fielder Lee, nicknamed "Supersonic", joined the team as a free agent after spending the past 11 seasons with the LG Twins. American first baseman Pill is a new addition following the KBO rule changes allowing 3 foreign players per team. Pill would go on to finish the game going 3 for 4 with 3 singles, 1 RBI, and 2 runs scored. Tiger fans will be waiting to see if these newcomers might help the team turn things around after a very disappointing season last year. Those 1st inning runs would prove to be all that the Tigers needed today, as Nexen bats were very quiet, managing just 3 hits and 1 run for the game, earning their first loss of the pre-season. KIA starter Yang Hyeon-Jong got the win, leaving the game after 4 no-hit innings. Nexen starter Brandon Knight had a rough outing in his first start of the pre-season, giving up 8 hits and 5 runs in 4 innings for the loss.
